Embodiments

A soap dispenser for use in a hotel bathroom, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, comprises a bottle body 1 for containing shampoo or shower gel, and a positioning frame for fixing the bottle body 1 to a wall of the bathroom, wherein the bottle body 1 is placed upside down, a sealing cover 2 is provided at a bottle mouth of the bottle body 1, and the sealing cover 2 is in threaded connection to the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1, such that the sealing cover 2 is stably fixed to the bottle mouth.
A liquid discharge hole is provided in the center of the sealing cover 2, a barrier sheet 21 made of silica gel is fixedly connected to the liquid discharge hole, a cross-shaped cutout 22 is provided in the center of the barrier sheet 21. In additional, the positioning frame can be used to fix the bottle body 1.
In use, since the barrier sheet 21 made of silica gel has a certain elasticity, and only the cutout 22 is provided on the barrier sheet 21, when a liquid in the bottle body 1 is not subjected to a certain pressure, the liquid therein will not break through the cutout 22 on the barrier sheet 21 to flow out; and when the liquid therein needs to be used, the bottle body 1 can be compressed, at this time, the liquid therein can be squeezed out of the cutout 22, and the cutout 22 on the barrier sheet 21 will be automatically retracted and closed after stopping squeezing. In this way, the soap dispenser is more convenient when in use, whereas the phenomenon that the bottle body drops will not occur because the positioning frame fixes the bottle body 1 to the wall.
As shown in conjunction with Fig. 3, the positioning frame comprises a fixing plate 31 and a mounting ring 32, wherein the mounting ring 32 is fixedly connected to an end of the fixing plate 31, the fixing plate 31 is provided with a plurality of bolts, and the fixing plate 31 is fixed to the wall of the bathroom via the bolts. An upper end face of the mounting ring 32 is additionally provided with an annular snap groove 33. After the bottle mouth at a lower end of the bottle body 1 extends into the mounting ring 32, the sealing cover 2 is snapped to an inner annular face of the mounting ring 32, a lower end face of the bottle body 1 abuts against the snap groove 33, and a side wall at a lower end portion of the bottle body 1 is snapped to an edge of the snap groove 33, such that the bottle body 1 can be relatively stably fixed in the mounting ring 32, while not affecting the discharge of the liquid from the bottle body 1.
As shown in conjunction with Fig. 4, a limiting groove 34 is provided on an upper end of the inner annular face of the mounting ring 32, and the limiting groove 34 is located on the side close to the fixing plate 31. A limiting block 35 is fixedly connected to the bottle body 1 on the side where the bottle mouth is located. After the bottle mouth of the bottle body 1 extends into the mounting ring 32, the limiting block 35 is snapped into the limiting groove 34, such that when a person squeezes the bottle body 1, the bottle body 1 can be prevented from rotating relative to the mounting ring 32 to a certain extent, which facilitates the person in squeezing the liquid out of the bottle body 1 more conveniently.
The positioning frame further comprises a positioning sheet 36, the positioning sheet 36 is fixedly connected to an upper end of the fixing plate 31, and the positioning sheet 36 is provided with an anti-drop assembly for fixing the bottle body 1, so as to further prevent the bottle body 1 from dropping to the ground when in use, while others can be prevented from taking the bottle body 1 off the positioning frame.
As shown in conjunction with Fig. 5, the anti-drop assembly comprises a circular arc sheet 50 fixedly connected to a lower end of the positioning sheet 36 and an arc-shaped clamping sheet 51 hinged to one side of the circular arc sheet 50, and a circular locking block 4 is integrally connected to an upper end of the bottle body 1. After the bottle body 1 is snapped into the mounting ring 32, a side wall of the locking block 4 abuts against the circular arc sheet 50, the arc-shaped clamping sheet 51 can be snapped to a side wall of the locking block 4 at another position by rotating the arc-shaped clamping sheet 51. A locking assembly is provided between the arc-shaped clamping sheet 51 and the positioning plate to fix the arc-shaped clamping sheet 51 to the positioning plate, and after being fixed by the locking assembly, the arc-shaped clamping sheet 51 is prevented from being opened, so as to stably fix the bottle body 1.
As shown in conjunction with Fig. 6, the locking assembly comprises a locking portion and an unlocking portion, wherein the unlocking portion is a magnet, the locking portion comprises a sleeve 61 fixedly connected to a lower end of the positioning sheet 36, a fixing block 63 and a magnetic bar 62 are provided inside the sleeve 61, the fixing block 63 is fixedly connected to an edge of a lower end of the sleeve 61, and a through hole is provided in a middle portion of the fixing block 63. The magnetic bar 62 penetrates the through hole and extends out of the fixing block 63, a back-springing sheet 64 is fixed to the magnetic bar 62 inside the sleeve 61, and a spring 65 is sleeved to the magnetic bar 62 at an upper end of the back-springing sheet 64. An upper end of the spring 65 abuts against the positioning sheet 36 at an upper end portion of the sleeve 61, and a lower end of the spring abuts against the back-springing sheet 64. In addition, a snapping sheet 66 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped clamping sheet 51, and the snapping sheet 66 is provided with a hole. After the arc-shaped clamping sheet 51 abuts against an edge of the locking block 4, the snapping sheet 66 moves to the position of the magnetic bar 62, and a lower end of the magnetic bar 62 is snapped into the hole of the snapping sheet 66 to fix the arc-shaped clamping sheet 51. When the arc-shaped clamping sheet needs to be opened, only the magnet needs to be placed on the positioning sheet 36 at the upper end of the sleeve 61, which can attract the magnetic bar 62 to retract and open the arc-shaped clamping sheet 51, thereby making it more convenient to use.
In the present invention, after the bottle body 1 is placed upside down and fixed to the wall of the bathroom by using the positioning frame, when a person uses the bottle body 1, the bottle body 1 is prevented from dropping and hitting his/her foot or other position; in addition, with the barrier sheet 21 provided at the liquid discharge hole of the sealing cover 2 and the cutout 22 provided on the barrier sheet 21, the liquid can be squeezed out of the bottle body 1 by squeezing the bottle body, thereby making it more convenient to use and facilitating a hotel guest in using it, and increasing the guest's experience.
The invention is defined by the appended claims.
